1. The Warlord - Mike Grell's original ripoff of the Neal Adams designed character from the SF play "Warp".
2. Element Lad - Cockrum version
3. Galactus
4. Popeye
5. the prince from Disney's "Sleeping Beauty"

So my all-Romita pick of characters whose design I like more than (just about) anything else about them:

1. The Tarantula--those pointy boots? Awesome.
2. The Constrictor--a villain who looks like what I always thought radial tires looked like on the inside? Awesome.
3. The Torpedo--that guy with turbines strapped to his wrists? Way awesome.
4. The Falcon/The Sub-Mariner--I actually like a lot of things about both characters but that armpit-wing/exposed-chest redesign he did for both of them in the '70s? Ultra-awesome.
5. Bullseye--It was really hard for a kid like me to tell what crap pre-Miller Daredevil was because the villains looked so cool. This is just a triumph of design on several levels. Even more awesome than previously assigned levels of awesomeness.

Thanks, Tom!

Firestorm…I, for one, love those puffy sleeves and that flamin’ head
Angel…back when he had a “halo” emblem on his chest
Obsidian…I thought the “negative” face, with only eyes and a mouth, was the coolest when I was 15
Batman…I actually think it’s the design work on Batman and his world that attract people more than anything else
White Rabbit…she’s like Jenna Elfman as a 60s Batman villain
